Ephesians 3: 14-21
Greetings dear and precious sisters-in-Christ,
The first of October and how appropriately that it falls on a Wednesday. There is something special about the beginning of the new month falling on a Wednesday. This is particularly special because I have just returned from my September journey with the Lord and what a wonderful journey it was. I'm thinking of making a collage of all the fulfilled prayers and whispered promises kept and the visions of things to come. Each day spent with the Lord was so extraordinary.
We are also entering into the season of celebration and thanksgiving and gift giving, which can be very stressful for all of us. I would like to begin this season with a prayer that Paul prayed for the Ephesians in preparation of the weeks ahead.
My dear sisters-in-Christ I have not seen any of you for a very long time but being in the family of God the physical isn't important. Our relationship is so much deeper and wider and higher so let me begin -
"For this reason I kneel before the Father, from whom his whole family in heaven and on earth derives its name. I pray that out of his glorious riches he may strengthen you with power through his Spirit in your inner being, so that Christ may dwell in your hearts through faith. And I pray that you, being rooted and established in love, may have power, together with all the saints, to grasp how wide and long and high and deep is the love of Christ, and to know this love that surpasses knowledge - that you may be filled to the measure of all the fullness of God.
Now to him who is able to do immeasurably more than all we ask or imagine, according to his power that is at work within us, to him be glory in the church and in Christ Jesus throughout all generations, for ever and ever! Amen."
